Almost a month had gone by since the attack at the casino. Kalon hadn't set foot inside of the estate since he ordered his guards to take me back from the safe house and left without another word.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOSh2iw0px
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisXvOd0k3O
I wasn't sure what to really make of him at this point or the feeling he caused when he was around. I couldn't help the thoughts that filled my head with some sick fantasy I had of being with my boss. The man who flipped my life upside down...and very possibly the reason why my brother was murdered in the first place.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZf5WgMCd0
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VRSBEjcbl
As the days passed, I did my best to keep distracted since Naomi wasn't around to boss me. May had kept me great company and even allowed me to assist with some of her daily chores.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMtHWLlTIs
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs3ajsqCoY
Keeping busy with her had helped me try to keep my mind off of Kalon and that moment between us in his hotel room. I wasn't sure what his motive was, but all I knew is he was confusing as hell. He always seemed so cryptic and cold.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORQX7SVLTa
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnlrFxeh4j
And then the next he was unleashing a desire inside of me like nothing I've felt before.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv06YUOBKw
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMJmvnSImI
I just wanted to keep him out of my head and focus on anything else. Thankfully, I got lucky one day and was able to finally get Landon to talk to me.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOf6k1w35Q
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkbdTmOADw
One day, I noticed him outside by the tennis fields so I took it upon myself to corner him and force him to listen to my apology. It went better than I had expected and he admitted he had really missed having me around.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKONUEuAxgN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfMsY20PIo
To make it even better, big brother Jax was even starting to warm up to me. I'd catch him giving me sneaky little glares when he'd enter the kitchen and find his brother and I howling over some dumb ass Youtube video we'd find. I could tell he wanted to keep me away from potentially causing any trouble for Landon with the boss, but the blow-up from him never came.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft6sALT2pI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu49AaWvUc
It was nice having Landon around again and the newcomers who recently arrived. Liam, Samuel, and Finn were the three newest additions to the home who apparently had a history with Landon and his brother. They were all older and had the same rich, pretty boy vibes as Jax did. Despite the manor turning into a literal frat house, I was grateful to have some entertainment.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5EwLbARqN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSOwBgtQsy
"So what are we doing today?" I nudged Landon's side.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnuZ5WlY6b
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbKd5PWyic
He eyed me carefully. "Same as always...right?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvMXMVEPHq
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxpzXW4kNV
I sighed and leaned onto my elbows. "Right."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs2jWxXLgE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a5LCb9YZf
"Don't be so down, Robbie. You know the weather right now is perfect to take advantage of the pool. "May said cheerfully, setting out sandwiches on the counter.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6awpb49jSX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTx8lHZs58
"I know, I just wish we had more to do," I whined pitifully.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWir3yDTqC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGztqrJhO3H
"When don't you complain?" Jax scoffed as he entered the kitchen. He picked up a sandwich from the island and took a bite. "Aren't there plenty of chores for you to do?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJOerWfgtd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Bt8zJWW5
"Okay, mom."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZNQpQdrlE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyTgDzGXN8
He rolled his eyes and continued to walk past the three of us with his mouth stuffed with cheese and ham as he left again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEXj3qj589
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnTjqstmjr
That was usually how our brief interactions went. I'd get some kind of insult usually and then he'd disappear. Whatever attraction Jax had for me, in the beginning, was long gone after the club night.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsZHxwOkwO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWeqzAzrjm
I reached out to grab a sandwich from the tray on the counter but stopped when a hand knocked mine away with a painful slap and snatched it.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbtmrbtjI9
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9FkHXwoUI
"Hey!" I snapped and rubbed the back of it. "I was grabbing that."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkITaPwO9h3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduIMmlatRY
"Too slow, Quinn." Samuel smiled widely and took a large bite. His dark eyes were shielded by a college baseball cap that contained his wild, ginger locks.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhzzOAuhp7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyCVWkfVMK
Out of the new boys to the group, Samuel had certainly been the most annoying so far. Each day was met with him causing a fistfight with the others over dumb shit like someone taking the last beer or starting some argument over a football team. He usually made up for it with his sick sense of humor and crude sex stories.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqOSGBneN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqf2hoQnq5
"Ladies go first," May scolded him and he smiled sheepishly.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdXPZBTllh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuYYs0yK1j
"Sorry."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JGakUtNXL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoA2qJg8iS
"It's fine," I muttered and finally picked my sandwich from the plate. "Where are Finn and Liam?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Px1RH897D
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOynkFUCVi
He shrugged, "Probably on the way. I know Liam was on the phone with his girlfriend."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr0xQsIpte
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXao7pSMFPi
This was news to me. "Liam? Liam has a girlfriend?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD59m5cmcPQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmkvzFdNSa
"I'm not that bad looking."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTc9NsIVoo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fZ6tGpRlz
All of us turned to see Liam walking into the room with Finn. He could definitely pass as another Jax. He had the same light blonde hair with a slight curl and green eyes. The only difference was he was at least 5 years older and had tattoos scattered on each arm. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI9HN6fVnS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3dUpJKhuu
Finn was the youngest of them and so far the sweetest. He was a tall, lanky kid with black shaggy hair and a weird scar over his left eye. He was the only one who ever stayed behind to help with cleaning up after everyone else.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3kIMqgvNY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSbEaMZhER
"Keep telling yourself that," Samuel howled and Liam tossed a chip at him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg2hiTKv1y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5X2rfM3mf
May slapped him on the back, "No messes!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h5fcUAPhh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetvOQIeL3p
"Sorry, May." They said in unison. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsygoYsQFK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lZMqWRI6K
Samuel looked up at me as he took another bite. "So, Quinn, have you been to the family club yet?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq1AK0zOm3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6apuJFC6Rc
"Uh...the what?" I laughed.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasxJCPrkv7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49AB7Bjjkd
He rolled his eyes, "The main club the family owns? Girls, alcohol, dr-"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32KljF9rHM
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnpKbih3R
Landon cut him off. "Robbie has already had her share of club adventures. Mr. Wolfe doesn't want her getting involved."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPxAe0AhHI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBP6Wmcw19
"I heard all about her little adventure that got Carlos-"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ety4G8bFZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3V4DWfZgl
"Can you just shut the fuck up?" Landon snapped harshly.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5uVGjz1DU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAoFUKe24P
Samuel glared at him but didn't say another word. I was completely taken back by Landon's display of anger. He had never been one to stand up for himself and just always seemed to mold to whatever was going on.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil3oFftLbe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI91ky6BPs4
"Landon? What's wrong?" I whispered to him and he shook his head.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YcOi8AlJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sqRVl51aw
"I don't want to get into it."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUguz2eotH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aDC185LhS
"Don't keep things a secret," I sighed and picked at my crust. "I'm not going to push you into anything, but I also deserve to know what goes on around this place."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmy3ACfaN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93n0JYFxFE
He sat silently and stared at his hands in his lap. Something about his expression felt so unsettling and I wasn't sure if it was because Carlos had been brought up or because of all the trouble I had caused him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqyjLMhAD3
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMonyeOnbXd
I slid off the stool and walked out towards the balcony. The weather was amazing today, the lawn was a luscious green and the breeze had a slight chill. It wasn't humid and sticky like it had been over the past few weeks.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBeeayZlwQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MThLsB7Vq
I understood I would always be kept out of the inner workings of the organization. It didn't take a genius to piece together that I was living under the watch of a mafia boss. I had signed away my freedom to live a life of secrecy and security forever. There were days were I regretted ever signing the contract and other days I was grateful because I did have so much more than before.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeozaOliAiL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPaBlvKb5h
I couldn't entirely blame my brother for becoming involved with them. Before he died, we were starting to see an increase in some of the money he was bringing home. I tried to not question him too much but had chopped it up to him selling larger quantities of drugs.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeWGMuEPYh
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JpQuUc0pv
He tried really hard to keep that part of him a secret. He knew I wasn't happy with his decisions, but I knew we needed the money to survive. We were barely afloat and without Josh, I would've ended up homeless if I didn't sign my life away.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJoTbKAwa1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryW8R2UzZy
Kalon Wolfe may be a cold, heartless monster, but I couldn't find it in me to hate him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf8zdNxDOT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT0tr9wJpP
"What's going on, Quinn?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4qUFHqvdN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOROi5iJTeQ
I looked back at Samuel as he stepped onto the balcony next to me and lit up a cigarette.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNIhVOPWaK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDQ51oXB7J
"Just enjoying the weather."
He inhaled deeply. "Has Landon always been so protective of you?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQShW7gJOVd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhuDyVHHWO
I looked at him, confused. "Protective?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCts4Su9kRg
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWhx015Kq
"Yeah," He blew out a string of smoke rings. "Seems like he doesn't want you to know anything."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC14buDfJQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZc4HrEtLR
"Well, I'm not an idiot about what goes on around here, but Landon is just trying to keep out of trouble.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOF7iVwGFn
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7otAMZ8KNJ
He nodded and took another drag. "I heard you got him into some deep shit with his brother and the boss."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkO6angbHr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueeXpRuIqa
"I was just trying to have some fun," I admitted and leaned onto the railing. "I wasn't trying to cause problems, but it got out of hand."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejMMyVNX9R
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBg9sI4wkZ
"Well, if you ever want to have real fun, I'm your man." Samuel laughed and smiled widely. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9HUrFssx2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h0RtWd91c
"How so?" I asked, eyeing him curiously.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9sovy7W8t
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ORYaJcda
"The boys and I frequent a club downtown pretty often. It's basically just for the family and run by the organization only. You don't have to worry about causing a scene or putting the Wolfe name at risk."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEj7NTodUK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiCFhlzoPO
This was news to me. "Anybody can go under contract then?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa0Eujrchi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlWIOiejsB
"Yep," He grinned crookedly at me. "Even you, Quinn."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dwbiEq5yp
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmw8QynqQ2
"I don't want to piss anyone off, especially Ka- I mean, Mr. Wolfe."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtipa9zn40Z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0BBz51XJF
He rolled his eyes, "Kalon isn't even here and I'm sure Axel would be more than happy to keep an eye out for you. If shit goes south with the boss man, he'll get you out of it considering he's his right hand."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFhJsaZfUr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmvIMHCyMV
"He's here?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrBQLViP8H
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PFjiPcYRz
"Mhmm," He said and blew out a heavy smoke cloud. "He got in last night and I'm sure he'd love to escort you there."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOHnlcCKFX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44IMqlYJ5Y
"What makes you say that?" I laughed.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG4PKA3kWA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wYIfBPcq
He looked me up and down. "Don't be stupid."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobeL5voaiU
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0eHvzyLyj
"Won't he be pissed though if he hears I'm there? Especially, after what happened the last time."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJFgMslg5y
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5iKmdXWcx
"As I said, Axel has his ways," He winked. "Don't worry about Mr. Wolfe, you deserve to have fun too."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCh8XRXxcZ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wF2hTBFHa
I nodded and looked back inside where Landon was sitting. He was staring back at me and seemed to have been watching the two of us the entire time.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3HkLUDxFB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAPB54yfM4
"Don't worry about the kid," Samuel said when he noticed my gaze. "Jax is just protective of him."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2UhIqP50a
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR4VRe4Xzf
"Okay," I muttered and looked back up at him. "When can we go?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmYuYIWygB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrASgphEkT
_433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYYtANmJRE

"Keep up, Quinn!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ZIhUcclv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjAog5dIDe
I felt my ankle snap to the side as I tried to pick up my speed and silently cursed Samuel under my breath. I don't know why I decided to wear death trap shoes again, but I knew I would be paying for it by the end of the night.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf54FpL02V
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b5qKCQiXJ
"You could walk slower!" I huffed at him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwLz0JQ7Kv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxXktYB8NW
Samuel had decided to rope Finn and Liam into our trouble tonight and the plan was to meet Axel at the front so no problems were getting inside. Apparently, the club was Wolfe territory only aside from a few partners Kalon had close ties with.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoU7D5SeVr
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbAxURGypd
Liam kicked a rock back in my direction. "Pick better shoes, princess."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBN2qLAgxS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRZbSHx1Jn
"Dick!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmj6OlhkTl
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc9MYFRwGG
The four of us made our way up to what looked like an abandoned factory warehouse. There were no cars and from what I could see and hear, everything looked to be quiet and dark.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDM2dUStlO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnQpLqF99S
"Are we at the right place?" I asked as we rounded the corner.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vM3CsKRff
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rdkj7Lcz3
"Yes, Quinn," Samuel muttered as we came to a stop in front of a door. We watched as he rapped against the metal door several times.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8xc0Rkyw7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAvvC2Pbjk
A little piece of metal slid back at the top of the door. Flashing strobe lights pooled through along with heavy EDM playing in the background.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt7hGJhkA4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVZ3NfefHt
"Where's Axel?" Samuel said and flashed what looked like an ID.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOOhHebqUf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8lhF7l5Ts
The opening shut again and a series of locks could be heard unlocking before the door groaned open and a very familiar face stepped out onto the steps. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiEzWvMvY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyc8HbLz7a
Axel smiled widely and pushed back his dark locks from his face. A five o'clock shadow covered his jaw and he was dressed in a simple white tee and jeans.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKSKx7Ixuv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nCVF0RtVe
It was weird to see anyone who worked with Kalon dressed in something so normal.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsPBJUkioJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z3KpfuUfR
"Ahh! Look who you brought with you!" He cheered and reached out to grasp my hands. "How have you been?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslAKRV3CNz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypRifOoQjH
I blushed a bit when I caught his mismatched eyes roaming over my red velvet dress. "I've been okay, just working."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTrMkcsncE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnHduN6rtE
"Kalon did say you were doing wonderful," He praised and popped a toothpick between his lips. "I bet working for him has been an adventure already."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFPCy6y372
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Fj48HnXy
"You could say that."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuHMnXpBXX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsfYhdC8Ln
Axel grinned unevenly and brought my palm up to kiss it. "I'm so glad you are here."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZEGvQzyIe
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnaDb38zY3
My stomach turned with anticipation as his lips brushed my skin softly. His dark hair hung loosely in front of his eyes. He looked so much better than I had remembered.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ42AETu1wL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlthAgUnzY
"Me too."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVFuHzyUYy
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRQnyAxtmv
"Alright, kids," Samuel fake gagged. "Let's get inside because daddy needs a drink."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRdOgAm1uN
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTeHU57E7w
Axel stepped back to pull the door open and let the four of us step inside. You never would've known that we were walking into a club until the doors opened.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB661d7c0F
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41obvndAxx
It looked just like a normal strip club. The front was lined with a bar and there was a stage in the middle of the room where several girls were dancing topless. Men were crowded around the stages, tossing money and slamming back shots.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb9PLyN7QQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJKckmglur
I could already make out a few familiar faces from some of the men I would see come in and out of the home or chauffering Kalon around when he wasn't in the mood to drive one of his sports cars.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1twgurpIXf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQfhouMMX
"This is Kalon's?" I said to Axel and he nodded.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIXS5anL5r
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXkpMio0qS
"His dad owned a lot of businesses before everything was handed down after he passed away. He used to primarily invest in clubs and casinos because the money was good and easy to conceal."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3z8toHKhC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE4YYQjRw8
"Money laundering?" I laughed.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0VtWQKB0Z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEPVqIbIs3
"Smart girl," He winked. "It's just business, doll. I'm sure by now you've been able to piece together the kind of business Kalon enjoys involving himself in."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRyb2h49ge
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRaz4hXxSD
"Seems like a lot to handle."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMyh8s7jpH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3pa33MDU9
"Yeah, but that's why you get guys like me involved." He winked and playfully bumped my shoulder. "Want a drink?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZWPRJRrYE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFEI4HjQQj
"Who am I to say no?" I laughed and he pulled me along by my hand. The lights cast shadows across our faces as the strobe danced to the beat. Girls on the stage were now crawling across the stage in tiny panties as men hungrily tossed money at them.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzrtN3Tj2F
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfUk7s7mFw
"Two!" Axel yelled over the bass to the bartender. The two of us slid onto the stools together and leaned in close. "I'm really glad you came tonight, Robbie. I've been thinking about you a lot."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFre89KeSyC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ5JWZOcV1
"Is that so?" I teased and took the shot glass from him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TTsXAoEA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLuzRmy9iT
We clinked the tiny cups together and knocked them back. The brown liquid burned my throat as it trickled down. Axel smirked a bit at my reaction and signaled for two more.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcgrQbS0eo
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kHtXayPjN
"Why didn't you text me?" He asked and handed me the second shot.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzi9bi6tzi
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqHNUtFR6K
My cheeks blushed. "I'm sorry...I just-"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLE5q1UwJz
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvRsRaDmlL
He put his hand up. "Don't apologize, Robbie. I know I came on strong and it's weird considering the position I'm in."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7RdXPrrgC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcQ0eVgBZ3
I nodded a bit and looked out at the club floor where I could see the boys hollering at the naked girls on the stage.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXraJY7d4KG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPiwCm5ANK
Axel continued, "I just want my intentions to be clear. I know I seem like a real lady killer, but I'm a gentleman at heart and very shy." He winked playfully and knocked his glass against mine again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jp1a8TVq4
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkExRX4zTzW
"A true gentleman you say?" I mimicked him and knocked the second one back. My head was already rushing from the alcohol hitting so fast.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFS30bkw1j
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ513hczCw0z
"Another?" Axel piped and motioned for the bartender.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9adGU8Ywih
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5f1MqD3GD
I laughed and shook my head. "Are you trying to get me trashed? I don't want to get myself into too much trouble with your cousin."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFaVJjIQiQ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCR9JcUoel
He rolled his eyes and tinked his glass on mine again. "Let me handle him."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCzYvFm29D
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeZelC9W97
"Are the two of you close?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp83Rc2njf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWrL1LkPhA
He shrugged a bit, "I wouldn't say we are necessarily close, but really we don't have any other family. Kalon's been kind of on his own since he was a teenager, all of the family that does exist resides in Russia and they just tend to keep him at an arms distance."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr1SNRxqes
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqwEqrlFlV
"What about you?" 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0fvUnzaIF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiARFFwKhfC
"Nothing interesting," He sighed and leaned back against the bar. "I've been an orphan since my parents died when I was ten, so I stayed with an aunt before Kalon's father took me in at sixteen. I kind of bounced around for a while though."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqeLn0zysE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeGODfwQck
"Do you enjoy working with him?" I eyed him curiously.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeoDXjwlNF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKvuKIGpgC
"The money is nice and I don't really have to step in unless necessary, so I just get to drink and party whenever I want."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJFQMdA0Gk
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhdPbDzUT0
"Sounds like the life." 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWumFUXsD30
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqyl9mnblm
"It's not all it seems," He murmured and let his eyes wander over me again. "Sometimes you get really lonely."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU38RYu6N5f
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGTt6iBYSx
I stared back at Axel and felt a new level of confidence take over me. My head was absolutely wrecked from the liquor and he is one smoking hot man.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qxOK7HMKC
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2taQNasFNg
I leaned in closer to him and smirked. "You poor thing."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0qWrFkOS
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUM0HKOVRa
He continued to let his eyes slowly undress me layer by layer. I could feel my insides squirming like mad and my legs clenched from the uncomfortable desire building at my core.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIgPDhLcGW
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vyIhauE5l
"Want to get out of here?" He whispered lowly. His lips just inches away from my own.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcCRNOaorX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qNjUmqbiu
I started to nod and slid off the stool but was suddenly stopped when a girl I've never met before came running up to us with Liam.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBMzkz0UwI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwidWHYQwZ
"Oh my gosh, you are stunning!" She slurred out and tossed her arms around me. "I'm so glad to see another girl in the group."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RAQ1tNb38
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzmg7frSp
"I'm sorry?" I laughed as she pulled away. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGGC07Z3h
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSnEQm3BQl
She was breath-taking and honestly seemed a little out of Liam's league. Her eyes were bright blue which contrasted beautifully against her midnight black hair. I noticed she was dressed in just a skimpy black lingerie set and heels.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkAuLjg7n
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zn1u6qKCu
"I'm sorry! I'm Liam's girlfriend, Maria, it's so nice to meet you. The boys mentioned you a few times, but I just never have a chance to go to the actual manor." She gushed and looked up at Liam with a girly grin.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkafow0zTT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yL7bMdPxq
"You work for Kalon Wolfe?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLBFWUDQmP
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCB38QufJx
She nodded eagerly. "I do! All of us girls that dance here are directly employed through him. Are you not one of his girls? I haven't seen you here so I wasn't-"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl2vaRPEnD
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeLrhStnlx
Axel cut her off, "She's not a dancer, doll."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrXBiQ7PE6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH36caFla2z
Maria looked over at him and the girly grin disappeared immediately. I looked curiously between the two of them as the intense staredown continued before she dropped the topic.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49tOOlzQtA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJMR6Yw3U
"Anyways, it is a pleasure to meet you! If you ever want to dance, feel free to join us. The money is great and the men would love you." She said and reached out to hug me again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTgqUCRnkT
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViBHYEAeS2
"O-oh, well, thank you. It was nice meeting you, Maria."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGgN2MZliL
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28n6RVSuv1
We watched as she walked back towards the stage with Liam. The boys were all still crowded around the same spot as before, drooling over the girls who decided to give them a sliver of attention.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmtLqr3FXf
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0bETCQyV1
"What was that about?" I asked Axel, noticing he was still staring at them too.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xXmNTcEZv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF28UP90SB
He shook his head. "Don't worry about it."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu9m2LcRSd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmuCIf0vpg
"Seems like Maria isn't a fan?" I teased and leaned against the bar. 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreYenTS31o
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XOD9dcrFD
"Probably because she's my ex-girlfriend."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3pxVOjgcY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1nYkRGzNx
My jaw dropped. "You dated Maria?"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjnhphKUBI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzyuo0d3AS
"Am I too ugly for her?" He scoffed and ordered two more drinks.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RaRjX4qGV
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYiPsL7iek
"No, I just would've thought with Lia-"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGXcfPyUhY
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV3QIohT47
He stopped me. "Some of them have been around for a while, but not staying with Kalon. There are a lot of people involved in this, Quinn. More than your little mind could comprehend."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFYBsHVonu
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVrFGHdykD
"Try me.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvLya8pWTF
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxgWP5QZa6
He smirked at me and looked behind him. "Maybe another time."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MkmZzrj8g
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbN4dYwBnV
"Quinn! Get your ass up there!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPOILxUt09
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3WHMotBdW
I spun around on my chair to see the boys were waving me down and pointing to the stage. Apparently, they were inviting anyone who wanted to dance onto the stage and I, of course, was nominated considering I was the only girl that wasn't a stripper.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHOXzn2aNv
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvbDVIploz
"No!No!" I waved back at them and laughed.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqdgWfVHAH
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIcf92P8Jq
Finn rushed up to me and hooked me by the arm. "Please! Maria is up there and she just will not shut up about you."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WSOsRPAeA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6AooNSpMJ
I rolled my eyes. "Finn, I can't fucking dance. Look at me, I have nothing to show and no rhythm."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZCQUUIJY5
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZCK6aVSny
He looked me up and down a little too long before a weird-ass smile crept across his face. "You got this, Quinn! I know you are always down for something fun."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZcuHW6KSI
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe7DVUQ3hJ
"You're so lucky I am drunk as hell."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDQnQLEK4C
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyakOu4Hq9b
I walked up to the stage where Maria was dancing wildly all over the stage to some pop music with about five other, half-naked girls. They all looked to be completely hammered and the men were just eating them up.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6XEeqWNI1
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV4jHRGGJg
Maria pulled me up onto the stage next to her and placed her hands on my hips as we ground together. I could hear the guys around us hollering and shouting out nasty remarks to us as we continued to move together. The strobe lights danced on our skin and lit up the stage around us in bright flashes.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6RKuKP9Cx
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUoTBkfack
I could barely focus on her face or keep my balance, but it felt so right to be moving and every part of my being was alive.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw29SHn537I
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygIVQT3O4z
"Take it off, baby!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPhCoK4iIX
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEpDEcMPPv
Maria giggled and griped the pole next to us before twirling around it with one leg and dropping to the floor in a full split.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBaOInDqmd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfBhJG5oIP
I grabbed the pole above her and did my best to sway around the pole as seductively as I could manage. She slid up between my arms and moved her body against mine slowly as the two of us synchronized our movements.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsDlZjsE4A
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpp2ZrTI2X
"Come on, Quinn! Show us what you are hiding."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2fvLQnFuO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfX7gZzO9p
I peered out into the dark crowd and realized Axel was the one who was shouting at me now. Even in the poor light, I could easily make out the sly-ass grin playing on his face.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsR2orTzUG
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iusYwThtW
"Fuck it!" I muttered and reached down to pull my dress off.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GurNSYcun
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoREQFdwuS
I felt myself start to stumble to the side before Maria helped pull it the rest of the way off and tossed it to the side. The two of us giggled together and started to dance around the pole again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkkBcNBuK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF12J2wxGQy
It felt so weird actually stripping in front of so many people down to just my bra and panties. My mind was screaming at me to stop, but another part of me felt so fucking exhilarated.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pqoCT4bsE
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJmteK3iXR
Maria moved to the floor and started crawling along the stage to collect bills. I decided this would be a good time to really go all in and twirled around the pole again before reaching back to unfasten my bra.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGc7YrH3j2
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LKFVUKR4M
I felt so good. I felt so alive and so-433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOtGRbeTMj
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9rPpUVvB
*BANG* *BANG* 433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HVZly7Utd
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLDEVNixkY
Everyone started to scream as the sound of gunfire sounded loudly throughout the club. Chaos erupted as the girls on the stage started to run towards a backdoor and several people around us were already pulling out guns of their own.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m6lS56NOO
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtzmcQdJX1
"Turn the fucking music off now!"433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEDJ6UKH6J
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbEq6bSwcf
My heart stopped when I heard his voice boom over the music. Everybody stopped moving immediately. The lights turned all the way back on and I felt him staring me down before I even found him charging at me.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26KYWoZ2xJ
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTrlOoRE2u
"Hey man, li-" Axel started but Kalon pushed him roughly to the side. His steel-grey eyes were locked on me and he looked furious.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZZYNJHXZB
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwMCSmHHyR
I grabbed my dress off the floor and tried to pull it over my head just as I felt his hand grab me by the arm and yank me off the stage.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl1eew7NX6
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7coZ9oEMEw
"Get dressed now," He snapped roughly and shoved me into a booth. "The club is closed. Everyone needs to be out of here in ten minutes."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf3OZz97F7
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hisGnmdlE
Nobody said a word or even dared to argue with him. I pulled my dress back onto my body and watched in silence as everyone started to exit as quickly as they could before Kalon decided to fire off any additional bullets.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyRfbN9DuA
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUCkTA9n4i
I looked up at him and held my breath. Kalon looked down at me with rage very clear on his features. He looked so beautiful but was the scariest I had ever seen him.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUCOYn9L5z
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxw1uqJvUL
"Get up and go."433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiZIE0mtNK
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Q7Xbfx6U
I nodded and stood. I felt so low and defeated. I had fucked up again.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBJzae4b4h
433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQgl17MYcu
I'm so fucking dead.433Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMw7yZr3eS
